Abstract

Part-time working can be beneficial for individual academics, and also for academia as a whole. In addition to improving work-life balance and well-being, the benefits of part-time working include increased motivation, reduced burnout, and workplaces that are more diverse and inclusive. Here, six researchers who have experience of working part-time discuss what individuals, employers and funders can do to promote and support part-time working in academia.
